Ok... Well... I'm not sure if I should feel stupid or not, but... Looking through /var/log/messages I noticed something... The system was rebooting on exact 10 minute boundaries... every time... (i.e. at 10:30:01, 10:50:01, etc) Lookking through /etc/crontab I found nothing. /var/cron/tabs showed me 5 users have 'botchk' in their tabs, to keep their eggdrops up. I'm not sure which user's script is causing the problem, but removing them all fixed it. What it looks like is happening, from cron's log, is that after a reboot, the first time botchk runs, it restarts the bot... the second time, it runs, the system crashes. I can reproduce this every time... Does anyone really feel the need to investigate this? I realize userland programs should never crash the kernel, but... is this a big enough deal for someone to want to investigate? Kevin
